Bonnell Industries — Snow and ice equipment

Master Agreement 033126 is a cooperative purchasing contract between Sourcewell, a Minnesota service cooperative, and Bonnell Industries, Inc. for the provision of snow and ice handling equipment, supplies, and accessories, including plows, spreaders, and snow melters. The agreement establishes a procurement solution for governmental, educational, nonprofit, and tribal agencies across the United States and Canada. The contract runs for a four-year term expiring on June 11, 2030, with the possibility of up to three one-year extensions. Under this arrangement, Bonnell Industries provides new, current-model equipment and maintenance support, with shipping costs prepaid and added to final invoices. The award was determined using a best-value trade-off methodology based on a 1,000-point scoring system, where pricing accounted for 400 points and non-price factors—such as the depth of solutions, delivery capability, and marketing plans—accounted for 600 points. While the contract does not specify a total ceiling value, proposals were structured to align with anticipated annual transactions of 80 million USD. The agreement mandates strict compliance with safety regulations, quarterly transaction reporting, and federal requirements for entities using federal funds, including the Davis-Bacon Act and Buy American Act. All disputes are governed by Minnesota law.
